Pics from Volga Dnepr Airlines Maintenance Depot
Shannon Airport (1998-1999)

While studying in University of Limerick, I twice had the oppertunity to visit the Volga Dnepr Airlines Maintenance Center at Shannon Airport.  During those trips the staff facilitated us with every courtesy and I am delighted to be able to present these photos from those trips

The photos were taken with older compact cameras but still are quite ok if I may say so myself.

The first trip was in Spring, 1998. It involved a trip by members of the UL Aeronautical Society.

The second trip was in April of 1999. During this trip we were hosting a visit by students from Euroavia.

The beast from under another like beast!  Note the tilt on the aircraft due to the engines being removed on the starboard side.
